Grays Peak Trail, National Recreation Trail in Clear Creek County, Colorado, US.
The trail extends 3.4 miles with an elevation gain of 3,566 feet, leading hikers through alpine tundra to the summit at 14,278 feet.
The trail region contains remnants of 19th-century silver mining operations, including structures from the Stevens Mine and Sterling Silver Group Mine.
This segment of the Continental Divide serves as a meeting point for mountaineers who gather to climb both Grays Peak and Torreys Peak.
Early morning starts are necessary during summer months from June to September, as afternoon thunderstorms frequently occur at high altitudes.
Mountain goats, pikas, and marmots inhabit the rocky terrain along the trail, while alpine wildflowers carpet the meadows during warmer months.
